چکیده
Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM) is hardwarebased parallel lookup tables with bit-level masking capability. They are attractive for applications such as packet forwarding and classification in network routers. TCAMS are gaining importance in high-speed intensive applications. However, the high cost and power consumption are limiting their popularity and versatility. This paper presents the power reduction techniques for lowenergy and high-performance TCAMS to reduce the power considerably without affecting the speed of operation. The considerable power reduction has been achieved through a layout drawn for various techniques in the 0.18μm CMOS technology. These techniques have been implemented in the Microwind 3.0 version tool. The simulation results show a significant power reduction in 0.18μm CMOS technology.

High-Speed and Low-Power Flash ADCs Encoder
This paper presents a high-speed, low-power and low area encoder for implementation of flash ADCs. Key technique for design of this encoder is performed by convert the conventional 1-of-N thermometer code to 2-of-M codes (M = ¾ N). The proposed encoder is composed from two-stage; in the first stage, thermometer code are converted to 2-of-M codes by used 2-input AND and 4-i...
متن کاملModified 32-Bit Shift-Add Multiplier Design for Low Power Application
Multiplication is a basic operation in any signal processing application. Multiplication is the most important one among the four arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, and division. Multipliers are usually hardware intensive, and the main parameters of concern are high speed, low cost, and less VLSI area. The propagation time and power consumption in the multiplier are always high. ...
متن کاملDesign and Synthesis of High Speed Low Power Signed Digit Adders
Signed digit (SD) number systems provide the possibility of constant-time addition, where inter-digit carry propagation is eliminated. Such carry-free addition is primarily a three-step process; adding the equally weighted SDs to form the primary sum digits, decomposing the latter to interim sum digits and transfer digits, which commonly belong to {–1, 0, 1}, and finally adding the tra...

In this article a low power and low latency 4-2 compressor has been presented. By using modified truth table and Pass Transistor Logic (PTL) a novel structure has been proposed which outperforms previous designs from the frequency of operation view point. The proposed design method has reduced the total transistor count considerably which will lead to reduced power consumption and smaller activ...
متن کاملLow Power and High Performance SRAM-based Architecture for TCAM...V.Gopinath et al.,
Ternary content addressable memories (TCAMs) perform high-speed lookup operation but when compared with static random access memories (SRAMs), TCAMs have certain limitations such as low storage density, relatively slow access time, low scalability, complex circuitry, and are very expensive. Thus, can we use the benefits of SRAM by configuring it (with additional logic) to enable it to behave li...
